Why does uploading pictures or indeed any files seem to be so slow and difficult

Please add your experiences here for Kelly to have a look at.For a startUploading a picture is very quick judging by the monitored usage but then it just freezes when I try to postSome times it then loads but often it just sits thereI will run some tests using Firebug to get some detailed results

This has been going on for at least as long as I have been a member.My get around is to right click on the forum title at the top of the page, which then opens in a new tab, and shows me when the post, with image has arrived.I've had spinning balls !! for hours some times, when the post had arrived after just a few seconds.

I've had the same - occasionally a post with a picture will go through without an issue, more often it will just stall the page but the image is uploaded anyway and rarely it won't upload the image and the page stalls.

I have just tried to upload a jpeg and received a fail message that either the file is too big (2.4MB) or the server is busy.I did a refresh and another message told me I had already uploaded the image.My post is not here and there is no record of it in my posting history

I've started a different browser so that I don't disturb the timer on the Firefox window where I added a post to this thread with a 26KB image.It's now been waiting for the server to respond for over 5 minutes.Kelly: How many minuteshours days would you like me to wait to see if it ever responds?Edit: Over 10 minutes and still waiting!Edit 2: Now given up and trying againEdit 3: Still having trouble - I don't think it likes the image I'm trying to upload!
